the civil wars: barton hollow.

a friend of mine has me straight up loving 'the civil wars' right now, and as far as country goes, this is the limit pushed to the max. i love their voices separately and even more combined. he reminds me of a mix of johnny depp and jack white. she -- well she is just lovely. the whole album is perfect for anything from working around the house to a road trip to just about anywhere.

I love this entire album, start to finish. I saw them last year at the Pheonix in Toronto and I was just in love. After I saw them, I had headed to Cuba where I listened to them on repeat on the beach. You think it would be weird....but I recommend trying it (especially laying in the sun with your eyes closed...ha) :)

Me too, so so so good. I think the best thing to do when you love a song, is listen to the whole album on repeat -- over and over and over again. And if you're doing that Cuba? Pssssh. Even better! Thanks, you too!

Lately it seems like CBC r2 plays the civil wars every morning while I'm getting ready for work, and I have to say, I really dig it. I'm not one for the typical country songs; ya know, the kind where it could be about either a woman, or Jesus, and you can't really be sure which one it's supposed to be? Yeah. Not a fan. But I've gotten pretty into alternative country (which I'd say the civil wars count as) due to the influence of my boyfriend. I'm also digging Whitehorse, if ever you're looking for more alt country duos. Here they are performing for R2, hah! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq0sTOssg00
